Default IT's High Time

'bout time for a real track in Des Moines. Spend some time at Porky's, go to the Good Guys summer thing at the Fair Grounds and just look at the seemingly countless number of enthusiest automobiles. Not to mention the avalanche of scooters. Eddyville is a very long drive and can't collect the gate that a track in DSM could and will, if the Big Boys, IE: Karl, Denny Elwell, Bill Knapp, Lamar of Seven Flags Fitness and the like could envision and act on. A real community attraction. Why not go Nascar while their at it? Surely "Prairie Meadows" has done it, why not a class track at the cross roads of the nation? Hech, Polk county could get involved, tax the you know what out of it and as long as the city of Des Moines doesn't get involved, (we wouldn't want to charge "out of towners" more, would we?) it might even turn enough profit to finish I-235 in the black!
Enough from me on this rant! I could go on and on about the short comings of our fair city, but with the highest property tax levies in the nation we ought to get a few things for it that don't smell so bad.........I'm Frantic............FranticFrank Stupid puter now it's seeing double
